SubjectRe: why multiple ext3fs partions in a single dos partition is good.
Darren Reed:

: For those of us who don't run only linux, we may have 3 partitions already
: setup for other operating systems, including DOS/Windows, with one of those
: as an extended partition. Now the real problem is that you can't boot into
: an extended partition,

Why not?

: not to mention that I've yet to see an fdisk program
: that will deal with two extended partitions.

Never used sfdisk?

: Now that I think of it, Linux
: is the only PC Unix I use that requires one dos partition per ext2fs
: partition. Solaris/FreeBSD/NetBSD all let you create /, /usr, /var all in
: a single DOS partition.

So does Linux.
